Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
It's a wild, whacked-out wonder. Coenheads rejoice.

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Enlivening things to an unprecedented extent, the songs turn O Brother into perhaps the warmest production in the Coens' repertoire.

Film.com - Robert Horton
All I can say is this particular excursion into screwball madness is often heavenly, and frankly leaves critical explication somewhat unnecessary. Go see it and laugh.
78
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
A remarkable film. From its performances on down to director of photography Roger Deakins' sun-baked, dirty-ochre cinematography, the film is all of a piece.

USA Today - Mike Clark
Of all unlikely possibilities, the team has finally made a movie that, for them, is on the tepid side.
